Is Obama Really This Clueless?

I was watching this video about & I had to go back & listen again to what Obama had to say about what those holding the tea bags were protesting. Listen for yourself. (starting at 0:18)

THE TEA BAG WAVERS ARE UPSET ABOUT HIGH HEALTH CARE COSTS??????

I know he was being condesending toward the protestors, as Dennis Miller points out, but I also suspect he really just doesn't get it. So he dismisses it as irrelevent (while having Janet Napolitano take names for later arrests of those daring to criticize him).
